🏆 Wins[edit]

May '22 edition
  • Our long, grinding efforts at deployment training are finally starting to result in more people doing deploys (well, ok, they've resulted in Clare doing deploys, anyway) \o/
  • Rolled back train five times
  • Deployment tooling just kind of sucks less than it used to
  • Merged scap backport
  • scap stage-train \o/
  • Finally got rid of the generic service-pipeline-* jobs and migrated remaining 23 projects to use bespoke `.pipeline/config.yaml` based jobs
  • gitlab-a-thon
    • We found a a whooooole lot of blockers
    • Dan being a good open-source citizen: https://github.com/moby/buildkit/pull/2868
      • JWT implements oauth2
      • Could be used to authorize push access to namespace based on project path
  • Root access on phabricator
  • Updated Jenkins for Security—which broke Jenkins for a while
  • I think I finally remember how to use a standalone puppetmaster
  • ERC going well and DEI moving ahead
  • Dan got changes to buildkit merged upstream
  • Seems like we're pretty close to how auth will work for publishing images from GL
  • serviceops are plodding ahead on GitLab physical machines
  • CI for blubber in gitlab
  • update scap backport to work with new zuul plugin
  • new tests for scap backport
  • scap tests run without deprecation warnings (for stretch, buster, and bullseye)
  • Giuseppe plans to enable always-restart-php-fpm on Thursday.
  • Docs for GitLab are somewhat less crappy than they were a week ago
  • Upgraded Gerrit in train-dev to match production
